Angelina values close friendships, but she's soon to discover that maintaining healthy friendships can require a good deal of effort and maturity. The joy of giving reluctantly replaces remorse when Angelina donates a beloved doll to charity in "Ballerina Rag Doll," and jealousy incites a lie that threatens to grow to massive proportions in "Angelina's Surprise." "Arthur the Butterfly" illustrates the concept that if you love something, sometimes you must set it free, and "Alice's Present" shows how an innocent mistake can undermine a solid friendship it it's concealed. Two "Little Stars" live-action segments help beginning ballerinas feel more comfortable about their first ballet class and offer a glimpse of the imaginative world of dancing in character. (Ages 3 to 8) --Tami Horiuchi

Angelina Ballerina - Friends Forever.......2007-02-20

Gave this to my granddaughters for Christmas and they enjoy it while playing with their Angelina Ballerina Dolls. Thanks!

I LOVE THIS DVD!.......2006-12-11

I really like this DVD. I have it on VHS. In Ballerina Rag Doll, Angelina mistakenly gives away her rag doll that her grampa had given her. In Angelina's Surprise, Priscilla and Penelope Pinkpaws get a new baby brother. Angelina gets very jealous and mistakenly tells a lie. In Artur the Butterfly, Angelina finds an injured butterfly and looks after it. When Arthur feels better, Angelina refuses to let him go. When Angelina searches for Artur, she and Henry get trapped in a big hole. In Alice's Present, Alice gives Angelina a homemade gym bag. When Angelina leaves her gym bag outside her front door, the Pinkpaws twins take the bag, which causes a big fight between Angelina and Alice. Alice vows not to do ballet. Angelina vows not to do gymnastics. When Angelina gets her bag back, she and Alice get back together. I love happy endings. At first, I didn't like it because it has my least favorite episode in it. But now, I like the DVD.

WONDERFUL DVD - a must!.......2005-09-21

Such great life lessons in this DVD...I bought it for my daughter so she's have some girlie DVDs, and my 4 year old son loves it too!

The whole family loves Angelina.......2003-07-16

Four stories from the PBS television series. In each tale Angelina faces difficult challenges. The stories are:

Ballerina Rag Doll - Angelina faces maturity as she gives up her baby things to help others. But Angelina might not be ready to part with them all. Or is she?

Angelina's Surprise - Angelina is jealous of the attention being given the Twins and their new sibling. Angelina tells a lie that snowballs out of control until she admits her mistake.

Arthur the Butterfly - Angelina finds a beautiful injured butterfly while on a picnic. Angelina has a hard time letting it go once it is healed but learns her lesson when she becomes trapped.

Alice's Present - Alice gives Angelina a new gym bag that through a mix-up winds up donated to charity. Alice thinks Angelina did not like the gift and a friendship might come to an end.

We love the stories, the music and the voice characterizations. A fun video for young girls, and some boys, with lessons for everyone.

Stories Good but Format Annoying.......2003-03-05

...lack of a menu. There is no way to choose specific episodes-you just have to skip through the chapters and even those do not break at obvious places. My daughter likes to watch DVDs with the captions on (she learned to read at four so I guess that helped) and that option is not available. Might as well buy the video instead--it's a bit cheaper and at least you can look at the counter to determine where the episodes are.

Rose Fairy Princess
With a title like Rose Fairy Princess among its first releases, Angelina Ballerina, the PBS series centered on a single-minded mouseling, doesn't dance around the fact that it's strictly a girly-girl enterprise. But that's no strike against it; stereotypes aside, here's a cartoon as charming and accessible as the books by Katharine Holabird and Helen Craig from which it bloomed. In four episodes, our prim, pirouetting heroine gives stage jitters the heave-ho, begrudgingly baby-sits her young cousin at the fair, scores scarce tickets to see the legendary Whiskersevs dance, and stumbles off on a guilt trip when a local scamp gets the blame for an accident in the neighbor's garden. In addition to her grace, agility, and talent for tucking her tail into a tutu, Angelina boasts a big-name friend or two--Judy Dench gives voice to exotic, bejeweled ballet teacher Miss Lilly. --Tammy La Gorce
